Possible reason: selection bias. If everyone else is fine with circular dependencies or at least sees them as a necessary evil... are they going to extremely vocal about the current status quo when there they have no need to defend it?

In my experience, it’s generally less experienced engineers that will happily make a clusterfuck of circular dependendies.

If a more experienced engineer does, it’s generally considered a necessary evil, but not a choice taken lightly.
